Could you imagine such a program in the US? A program where young people are tought:
- How to use laughing gas
- How to have anal sex
- Who gives better blow-jobs? Men or women? (they actually tested this one)
- What happens when you use coke and drive a scooter
etc?
Damn, Fox news would be able to fill their programs for the next 10 months

Look I''m a Necromancer! Anyway, I used to have a job doing surveys and polls like your talking about here. In this kind of survey, the margin of error is the number of people who: A) Told you to fuck off (or variations thereof), B) Did not answer the question or C) Gave a response that was inconsistent with the phraseology of the question. (For example, giving a long lecture about alleles when ask "do you accept evolution" [a y/n ?]) It has no other significance

A bias towards reality is the best bias of all.

One important question: What's the difference between a vote and a poll? And what about the Electoral College - should we dismantle it?

I know. I just thought since Shane is a programmer he could get super rich if he could convince pollsters of the problem then fix it for them.

@Aerosteon You do not have to provide an alternative when critiquing something.

Why don't you write a better polling algorithm then?
Aerosteon 2 years ago
It's not about the algorithms. It's about the process. We KNOW how to do scientific surveys, but they're too expensive and time-consuming for the polling places to do.
Without those scientific controls, there is NO way of knowing if you're really getting accurate data.

Is your DVD of the first 9 episodes of Bogosity going to be in HD?
Surhotchaperchlorome 2 years ago
The DVD is the first 6 episodes. They won't be in HD. After that, I'll re-release 7-9 in HD.

Damn. Oh well. Still awesome. :)
Sweet. :)

On the plus side, the Blu-Ray version of the Second Edition of How Evolution Is Scientific will be 1080p, and both it and the DVD will be in Dolby 5.1.
